Ships are like children: they need individual attention.

We cannot, of course, eliminate all accidents - no industry can do that.

Everybody has to build double-hull tankers, but charterers don't want to pay for the extra costs.

In Asia, democracy has been less advanced than elsewhere. And many of these countries haven't done too badly.

Helmut Sohmen

The single most important technique for making progress is to write ten words. Doesn't matter if you're badly stuck, or your day is completely jam-packed, or you're away from your computer - carry a small paper notebook and write a sentence of description while you're waiting on line at a coffee shop. I think of this as baiting a hook. Even if you have a few days in a row where nothing comes except those ten words, I find that as long as you have to think about the novel enough to write ten words, the chances are that more will come.

Naomi Novik Writer

The problem with breaking up with someone, if you are a little unsure — and so often, people are unsure — is that breaking up involves persuasion. You have to persuade your ex that it is better this way for everyone. And this is difficult if you have not entirely persuaded yourself. It is especially tricky to do this if you are also naked, and making two cups of coffee.

Adam Thirlwell Novelist

Happiness is actually found in simple things, such as taking my nephew around the island by bicycle or seeing the stars at night. We go to coffee shops or see airplanes land at the airport.

Andrea Hirata Author

Coffee is the official beverage of culture.

Andrea Illy

My perfect morning is spent drinking coffee, eating porridge and reading the paper at a local cafe.

Anton Du Beke Ballroom Dancer

I hereby arm myself for today with coffee and the willingness to be wrong.

Audrey Assad Songwriter
